As the chilly weather sets in and we narrow down our picks for Halloween costumes, we are getting into the spirit of Autumn, or not! We might also be missing the sun rays and fruity cocktails on the porch.
Why not carry some of the cheery, uplifting citrus aromas of Summer over into the breezy Fall season with you? Citrus oils pair well with the warm, spicy aromas that are characteristic of the Autumn season.
Citrus oils, although each may possess their own set of benefits, all have some amazing things in common:
- Mood balancing effects that are great for stress relief and fatigue
- Detoxifying qualities that purify the air
- Antimicrobial properties which makes them great for homemade cleaners
- Vitamin C which can brighten skin tone and reduce scars and stretch marks
- They are all considered top notes which makes them great for blending!
Check out these citrus inspired diffuser blends that will ensure a smooth transition between seasons (the number indicates the amount of drops to add to your diffuser). Or try adding these blends to your body lotion or other skin care products to experience all their therapeutic benefits!
